Knockdow House

Seat of the McGorrie Lamonts of Knockdow, the house is located on a 6,000 acre estate, southeast of Dunoon, about 11 miles by route A 815. Located on a large wooded estate, it was built in 1817, and enlarged and remodeled by the last Lamont of Knockdow, Sir Norman Lamont, in recent times. The estate was sold in 1990. Fortunately, most of the contents pertaining to Clan Lamont, were bequeathed to the Clan Lamont Society by Sir Norman's heirs.
